No matter what Shan Qiyun thought in his heart, Shen Yuhan's gaze was always on Shan Qihuan, and he was the only one in his eyes.
No matter whether Shen Yuhan was acting or being sincere, Shan Qihuan enjoyed the other person's gaze on him. Although Shan Qiyun's eyes looked at him uncomfortable, Shen Yuhan was his now, so it was best not to make trouble behind his back.
Shan Qiyun suddenly called Shen Yuhan: "Yuhan, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
He couldn't ignore the close relationship between Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan; these were all once his.
Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan stopped at the same time.
Shen Yuhan didn't expect that this uncle Shan Qiyun would call him in front of her husband, but if he agreed it would be bad for his reputation.
Modern people do not have the deep-rooted concept of keeping one's virginity for others, but Shen Yuhan has lived in Qi for twenty years, and everyone has instilled this concept in him. He is now unable to date other men in private.
Shen Yuhan still mainly considers her husband's ideas, as he is the closest person to her and the only person she can trust and rely on.
"Honey, my uncle called me, can I talk to him?"
Shan Qihuan was still wondering whether Shen Yuhan would immediately shake off his hand and run to Shan Qiyun. He did not expect that he would do this. He actually respected his opinion. He was a good "wife".
"There's nothing that can't be said." Shan Qihuan acted very magnanimous, not knowing what Shan Qiyun was up to.
It just so happened that he also wanted to test Shen Yuhan's current attitude towards Shan Qiyun. It was useless to call him "husband" every day. He didn't want to be used as a tool by others, nor did he want to become someone else's emotional tool.
Shen Yuhan did not let go of his hand, and turned to Shan Qiyun and said, "Uncle, if you have anything you want to tell me, just say it here."
Shan Qiyun already felt sad just seeing them holding hands, and now he felt even more uncomfortable. Shen Yuhan's every word and action was centered around Shan Qihuan, and what did it mean when Shen Yuhan held Shan Qihuan's hand and talked to him
I used to feel happy just talking to him for a few more words, but now I have forgotten that feeling
Shan Qiyun took a deep breath and said, "I want to talk to you alone for a few words. It won't take up too much of your time."
Shen Yuhan looked at Shan Qihuan again: "He wants to talk to me alone."
Before Shan Qiyun got angry, Shan Qihuan wanted to laugh. Shen Yuhan's action was indeed quite interesting. He didn't mind and let go of Shen Yuhan's hand first.
"You go ahead, I'll go in first, and just come find me later."
Shen Yuhan got anxious when he let go of her hand, so he shook it back: "Can you wait here for me?"
Shan Qihuan looked at his clingy look and thought that his acting skills were unparalleled, and it was just like the real thing. When Shan Qiyun, whom he had been thinking about, took the initiative to find him, he didn't run to her, but was afraid that he would leave
He wanted to see what Shen Yuhan wanted to do: "That's fine."
Shen Yuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that sooner or later he would have to face Shan Qiyun, but it had to be when her husband was present. The previous "Shen Yuhan" had been too obsessed with Shan Qiyun, and it just so happened that her husband was there, so he could act more naturally to avoid being misunderstood by him in the future. He had to eliminate any hidden dangers that might exist between them as a couple.
Shan Qiyun was really unhappy with Shen Yuhan's attitude towards everything, and wanted to make him angry
Yes, he was successfully pissed off!
Shen Yuhan is becoming more and more capable now.
After getting her husband's consent, Shen Yuhan reluctantly let go of his hand. She had finally been held by her husband, but it was ruined by Shan Qiyun. She really had no good feelings towards Shan Qiyun at all.
With some impatience, he and Shan Qiyun took a few steps and stopped less than five meters away from Shan Qihuan. It was a downwind position, and his husband had good hearing and should be able to hear their conversation. This way he could prove that he was not overly close to Shan Qiyun.
He turned around to look at Shan Qihuan, and followed his words without moving away: "You talk here, my husband can see me."
Shan Qiyun, who was irritated by him, said: "Yuhan, there is no need to use Brother Huan to irritate me."
Shen Yuhan kept looking back at her husband: "Why would I be angry with you?"
Seeing that he looked absent-minded, Shan Qiyun said, "You want to make me angry because you like me. This is not good for Brother Huan." She deliberately mocked Shen Yuhan.
Shen Yuhan didn't dare to respond. He took a step back and shook his head, saying, "I don't like you. I have a husband. Please respect yourself and don't say things that will cause misunderstandings."
Not expecting such a direct reply, Shan Qiyun's face froze: "Okay, it's best that you have this idea. I will wish you and Brother Huan happiness. I will send the things you gave me before to your home later." He didn't believe that Brother Huan could remain so magnanimous and Shen Yuhan could remain so calm after seeing the things he returned.
Shen Yuhan thought it was possible and hesitated for a moment: "Is the gift I gave you expensive?" If it was a normal social interaction for "Shen Yuhan" and the gift was rejected, it would indeed be a shameful thing. But if it was not a normal social interaction, he would need to deal with it in order to prevent someone from using it as a handle against him in the future.
Shan Qiyun regained some of the confidence he once had when he was pursued: "I don't know if it's expensive, but you said you spent all your savings."
Shen Yuhan said decisively: "Then return it to me." She was very short of money at the moment. If her husband didn't give her household allowance one day, she would have to live on the streets. If it was a valuable item, he could pawn it for some money. Returning the gift would kill two birds with one stone.
Shan Qiyun was angry again: "…" You really dare to go back? You said you were chasing me
Shen Yuhan looked back at Shan Qihuan again and said to Shan Qiyun, "If there's nothing else, let's just leave it at that."
Before Shan Qiyun could say anything, Shen Yuhan ran back to Shan Qihuan in what she thought was the most indecent trot and asked him softly, "Hubby, you didn't wait long, did you?"
Shan Qihuan, who was standing in the downwind direction and listened to the whole process, said with a smile in his eyes: "No, go in, it's windy outside." It was rare for him to soften his tone.
Shen Yuhan touched his face and said, "It's a bit cold. Very cold."
Shan Qiyun clenched his fists as he watched them leave together.
Shen Yuhan, you are really great!
Dinner hasn't started yet, and except for the people from the main room, everyone from the other three rooms is present.
Most of the men were playing mahjong in the leisure area, and the older women, whether they were getting along or not, mostly sat together and chatted. Those who really didn't get along went somewhere else to do their own things.
Shen Yuhan was not unfamiliar with this kind of environment. It was the same at home during festivals or gatherings. Those in each family who had a good relationship would sit together, while those who had a bad relationship would confront each other, and their words would be full of hidden ulterior motives.
Every lady in the Shan family is not a good person, just like Shen Yuhan’s former aunts.
As soon as he and Shan Qihuan entered the living room, the Second Lady, whom they had never met before, immediately came to greet them.
"Qihuan is back."
Shan Qihuan nodded, but had no intention of introducing anyone to Shen Yuhan. He had never looked down upon the Second Lady.
He did not comment on the love affairs of the older generation. Facing so many people in the room, Shan Qihuan was not very happy and did not smile at anyone.
The second wife looked at Shen Yuhan, who was dressed up in Dan Qihuan. He even changed into a new pair of shoes before getting off the car. Now he was a very down-to-earth modern man.
Shen Yuhan's attitude towards the second wife is the same as Shan Qihuan.
If it were in Qi State, except for the main wife, all the others were concubines or concubines, and they had no right to sit at the main table, but had to stand aside and serve the family during meals.
This Shan family has no rules at all. The wife is not a wife, and the concubine is not a concubine. They are just a mess.
He didn't ask where Shan Qihuan's mother had gone, he only knew that she did not show up on their wedding day.
As soon as they entered the room, they attracted the attention of everyone in the living room.
Since Shen Yuhan didn't know anyone, he could only follow Shan Qihuan.
The housekeeper said to Shan Qihuan, "The master said that you two should go to the tea room and sit for a while when you come back."
Shan Qiyun appeared behind them, and then the gossip fell on the three of them. The only one who was embarrassed was Shan Qiyun, because Shan Qihuan took Shen Yuhan to the tea room.
The Second Madam always liked to make sarcastic remarks: "Qiyun, you and Qihuan came back together? You and Shen Yuhan are the only ones we are familiar with here, and we don't know him either. Can you tell us more about him?"
Her daughter also learned her essence: "I want to listen too. I think he is very capable. Brother Qihuan seems to be very protective of him."
Shan Qiyun didn't want to get involved in the dispute, nor did he want to talk to them. He was just very angry with Shen Yuhan, so he said in a bad tone: "I'm not familiar with my sister-in-law."
Everyone knew that Shen Yuhan was pursuing him, but Shan Qiyun didn't like being talked about in front of others. This was a matter between him and Shen Yuhan and had nothing to do with others.
When the third wife heard her beloved son being teased, she immediately rushed out and said, "I heard that Qibai was on the hot search a few days ago with a peripheral girl, and the scale was quite large. Is it true?"
Shan Qibai is the second wife's eldest son. He is older than Shan Qihuan and Shan Qiyun. He tried to start a company, but each one he opened failed and he has achieved nothing so far.
When the Second Lady heard that the Third Lady was targeting her son, she gritted her teeth in anger.
The fourth wife held her four-year-old daughter while eating snacks and touched the child's braids with a smile. The drama at the family dinner every month was more interesting than the last.
Shen Yuhan couldn't appreciate this drama. He was wondering how he should get along with Shan Tianfeng.
After the two of them entered the door, Shen Yuhan didn't have to think about it anymore, because the relationship between her husband and her father was very ordinary.
After Shan Qihuan sat down, Shan Tianfeng threw a cell phone to him with an angry look on his face: "What's going on? You're hanging out with someone right after getting married?"
Shan Qihuan, expressionless and very calm, quickly browsed the entertainment news on his phone. It was the news about the club Liu Tan went to yesterday. There was only a back figure in the picture. The entertainment reporter deliberately dug a hole in the text. The title read, "Shan Qihuan, the son of the Shan family, was suspected to have had fun in a club and was taken away by the police?"
The back view looks a bit like him, but it's definitely not him.
It was nothing more than a manuscript that the wife of the third room asked someone to send out.
"It's not me." Shan Qihuan stated the facts concisely, and Shan Tianfeng could believe it or not.
Dan Tianfeng didn't even look at him, but asked Shen Yuhan, who didn't know what was going on, "Yuhan, was he not at home yesterday?"
Shen Yuhan said truthfully: "He is at home. He picked me up from get out of class in the morning, went shopping with me in the afternoon, and we were both at home at night and didn't go out."
Shan Tianfeng's expression eased a little, knowing that he might have misunderstood Shan Qihuan: "You really didn't go out?"
Shen Yuhan rarely lies, and his eyes are extremely sincere: "We didn't go out, we even watched a movie, what's wrong?"
Shan Tianfeng saw that Shen Yuhan didn't seem to be covering for Shan Qihuan, so he said, "It's okay, just some unreliable gossip."
Shan Qihuan was already accustomed to such things. As his business grew bigger, these things happened more and more frequently. Now he was too lazy to explain.
Shen Yuhan: "Is that so." He currently doesn't know that the Shan family is a wealthy family. He just thinks it's like what his father heard before about a brother keeping a mistress and ruining the family tradition. He wants to know the specific situation. If it's true, he will punish him according to the family rules. If it's nothing, he will go find the person who spread the rumor and beat him up.
The matter was just lightly revealed, much more calmly than any previous conflict between Dan Tianfeng and him, so simple that it didn't seem like the way they got along as father and son.
Shan Qihuan took the initiative to pour tea for Shan Tianfeng, and also poured a cup for Shen Yuhan, as a thank you for helping him solve a small problem.
Shan Tianfeng was quite enjoying this moment. He had no shortage of grandchildren, and he didn't care too much about whether Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan had children or not.
"Look at my brain, I almost forgot something." He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yuhan: "This is pocket money for you. My daughter-in-law has it all. This is yours."
It's for his daughter-in-law. Shen Yuhan is not pretentious at all. Since everyone else has it, there is no reason for him not to take it.
"Thank you, Dad."
The change of tone was very natural and Dan Tianfeng felt very comfortable listening to it.
Shen Yuhan was not dissatisfied with her identity as a "daughter-in-law". If she were "Shen Yuhan", she might have curled her lips. However, Shen Yuhan believed from the bottom of her heart that she was Shan Qihuan's wife, and naturally Shan Tianfeng's daughter-in-law.
They got married in front of all their relatives and friends, so there's no need to be hypocritical and reject this relationship.
After sitting with Shan Tianfeng for a while, the housekeeper called and asked them to go for dinner.
Shan Qihuan's eldest brother and second sister lived far away, and they were on business trips so they didn't come. However, Shan Qixin, whom Shen Yuhan had never met, came back after finishing his announcement.
His appearance was quite surprising.
When Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan came out of the tea room, they saw Shan Qixin coming towards them.
"Third brother, this must be my sister-in-law, right?"
How could this be wrong? He had seen everyone in the room before, and he was asking even though he knew the answer.
"Yeah." Shan Qihuan said to Shen Yuhan, "Shan Qixin, uncle."
"Hello, uncle." Shen Yuhan smiled at him. He is my husband's younger brother.
Shan Qixin had also heard about Shen Yuhan's behavior, but seeing is believing. He looks very energetic, his smile can charm thousands of girls, and his every move has a different temperament, as if he had been specially trained.
However, Shan Qixin now has something more important to say to Shan Qihuan.
He quietly asked Shan Qihuan: "Third brother, do you have the latest suit? I have to attend an event tomorrow. Can you lend it to me for a day?"
Shan Qihuan: "Come back with us later to get it."
Shan Qixin: "Then I'll stay at your place tonight, that's convenient."
Shan Qihuan: "It's not inconvenient."
The two of them took their seats after they finished talking.
During the meal, the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious. The first ten minutes or so were spent discussing which meat was delicious, which vegetables were fresh, and how long it would take for certain air shipments to arrive. These were relatively meaningless topics, but the real drama at a wealthy family's dinner party always happens at the end.
I don't know who first brought up the issue of the second wife's son being incompetent in the company, and then the second wife brought up the issues of the third and fourth wives, and it was like a dog biting a dog.
Shen Yuhan was stunned, but even so, Dan Tianfeng still drank the ginseng soup brought by the housekeeper calmly and did not even scold the ladies and children who did not follow the rules.
The war at the banquet escalated and suddenly affected Shan Qihuan. The Second Lady lived up to everyone's expectations and brought up the matter of "prostitution in a certain club" to implicate Shan Qihuan.
The second wife said, "Compared to our Qibai, Qihuan's story is really surprising. It even made the social news, while Qibai's story is at best just entertainment news."
Shen Yuhan, who was listening to the gossip, sat upright and swallowed a mouthful of soup. He gently placed the soup bowl and spoon on the small plate, and when he looked at the Second Madam, his eyes were a little cold. How could he compare his husband with the Second Madam, who was thin, pale, and had droopy eyes and a wretched look on her face? It was a little weird when he looked at him, as if there was a long worm crawling on his body, which was a little disgusting.
Shan Qihuan always ignored their disputes. Since the Second Lady couldn't scold the others, she wanted to use Shan Qihuan to end today's "war".
"Where have you seen my brother? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. There must be evidence for everything." Shan Qixin couldn't stand these ladies the most. Every time they found gossip about his third brother, they would throw all the dirty water on him.
The Second Lady: "Didn't Liu Tan and his friends often play with him? Someone saw Liu Tan and his friends coming out of the police station last night. Isn't this a big deal?"
Shan Qixin: "Liu Tan is Liu Tan, which eye of yours saw my third brother?"
Second Madam: "That's not the back..."
Shan Qixin curled his lips in disdain: "Is that my brother? You should go see an ophthalmologist." He just heard it outside the teahouse. His brother didn't go out at all yesterday.
Dan Tianfeng, who had been drinking soup, slammed the bowl heavily on the table.
"That's enough. You're bringing up all kinds of gossip. If you have the time, you might as well take good care of Qibai. Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
The Second Madam was determined to drag Shan Qihuan into the water: "Tianfeng, this matter has been on the headlines, it happened yesterday."
Shan Qihuan gave the second wife a cold look and said, "I was at home with Xiaohan yesterday. Do you want a video or a photo?"
The second wife moved her mouth, seeming not to believe it.
That’s all about social news.
After dinner, Shan Qihuan directly suggested to Shan Tianfeng that they go home first. Shan Tianfeng rarely said anything to him and even expressed some concern for Shen Yuhan.
Shan Tianfeng said: "If Qi Huan bullies you, call me."
Shen Yuhan smiled and said, "He didn't bully me and was very nice to me."
Shan Tianfeng felt that he had become more mature after getting married and knew how to praise others, but this only made him feel that Shen Yuhan was bullied by Shan Qihuan.
The Second Madam also went out with them, and now the one accompanying Shan Tianfeng was the Fourth Madam, so she couldn't stay overnight even if she wanted to.
When the two sides met, the Second Madam couldn't help but taunt Shen Yuhan: "Yuhan, do you really not mind Qihuan playing outside? Do you know who are the people outside?"
Shen Yuhan stood straight and upright, looking directly at the Second Madam, and said lightly, "What does our main house's affairs have to do with you?"
The Second Lady was stunned for a moment, her lips trembling with anger, and she couldn't utter a word. At this moment, she was completely despised.
Shan Qihuan and the others were the principal wives, so what was she? A concubine
This Shen Yuhan made her chest hurt!
Shan Qihuan, who was standing next to Shen Yuhan, felt his scalp tighten. This was what was meant by killing someone and destroying their heart.
The harm is not great, but it is extremely insulting.
